Rain - Republicans' October Surprise

The vast right wing conspiracy bring bad weather to election day, sabotaging the Democrats. I blame Karl Rove.

“Republicans are helped by bad weather ... it does harm Democratic prospects.”

Wendy Schiller, a political science professor at Brown University, echoed Harbridge. “Bad weather almost always hurts Democrats,” she said. “The traditional Democratic base tends to include lower-income people and the elderly. Both of those demographic groups have a hard time getting to the polls.”

Political experts say the rain will especially help Republicans this year because the conservative base is motivated to win back control of Congress.
